Bricklaying, a high-tech profession?
 

Hello

An article from a magazine:-

Bricklaying, a high-tech profession

That is an interesting article, thanks Ron.

However, 12 hard disks in each brick in a 3x3x3 cube is a lot of hard disks (324) - anyone know how many watts are needed to run that many disks spinning up? - power requirements will be the limitation imo. - a 4x4x4 cube would be 768 hard disks fgs:D

Developing the technology for modular solid state memory might be more viable?

Hi Homealone

Perhaps the 12 disks in each cube could be fitted all on the same motor spindle.

However, I expect it'll still dim all the lights when it's powered up.

I too would prefer solid state memory to all that hardware clanking around.

:) :D :p

In a PC power would be a problem (so would the heat generated by all those disks spinning).

Don't know if it would be a problem in a mainframe or super computer though. I would have thought those things would have quite a powerful power supply.
